Edwin Davila’s girlfriend was two months pregnant when he was arrested for murder in 1995. Though he always claimed he was innocent, Davila was convicted and didn’t see his son outside prison walls until he served out his sentence nearly 25 years later.
At a brief hearing Tuesday, prosecutors wiped out his conviction for the 1995 murder of Jamie Alvarez, the latest in a string of more than 30 murder cases to be overturned based on allegations of misconduct by former Chicago Police detective Reynaldo Guevara.
